Emirates, one of the world’s most renowned airlines, will return to Edinburgh this year as it resumes its service between the capital and Dubai.
The eagerly awaited return of daily flights between Edinburgh and Dubai will see the service restart on November 4, 2024, on an A350 aircraft. Flights will have 32 lie-flat seats in business class, 21 seats in premium economy, and 259 economy class seats.
The service has been temporarily suspended since Covid and its resumption demonstrates the continued recovery in aviation and the confidence in Edinburgh Airport, which expects to welcome a record 15 million passengers this year.
The renewed service, operated by leading international carrier Emirates, will provide passengers with excellent connectivity through the vast Emirates network.
